About Elly
I am a highly qualified and experienced sports professional with a degree in sports science and over 20 years of hands-on experience in sports coaching and performance. My career has been defined by a passion for helping individuals and teams achieve their full potential, whether they are elite athletes, celebrities, or members of the royal family. I bring a unique blend of technical expertise, practical coaching skills, and a deep understanding of human performance to every training session.
One of the highlights of my career was working as an assistant coach with the GB athletics team. This role allowed me to contribute to the development of world-class athletes, helping them refine their techniques, improve their physical conditioning, and prepare for high stakes competitions. Working at this level taught me the importance of precision, dedication, and innovation in coaching, and I have carried these principles into every aspect of my work.
In addition to my work with elite athletes, I have had the privilege of training celebrities and members of the royal family across a wide range of sports disciplines. From running and boxing to golf, tennis, hockey, and swimming, I have tailored my coaching methods to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. Whether it’s helping someone improve their fitness, master a new skill, or prepare for a specific event, I take pride in delivering results that exceed expectations.
My approach to coaching is rooted in the science of human performance. With my background in sports science, I understand the physiological, psychological, and biomechanical factors that influence athletic performance. This knowledge allows me to design training programs that are not only effective but also safe and sustainable. I focus on building a strong foundation of technique, strength, and endurance, while also addressing the mental aspects of performance, such as focus, confidence, and resilience.
Over the years, I have developed a reputation for being a coach who gets results. My clients have achieved significant improvements in their performance, whether it’s running a faster mile, perfecting their golf swing, or excelling in competitive tennis matches. I believe that success comes from a combination of hard work, smart training, and a positive mindset, and I am committed to helping my clients develop all three.
What sets me apart as a coach is my ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Whether I’m working with a professional athlete, a busy executive, or a member of the royal family, I tailor my approach to suit their needs, goals, and lifestyle. I understand that everyone is different, and I take the time to listen, understand, and create a personalised plan that works for them.
If you’re looking for a coach who combines world class expertise with a personalised approach, I would be honoured to work with you. Together, we can achieve your goals, whether it’s improving your fitness, mastering a new sport, or taking your performance to the next level. Let’s get started on your journey to success today!

I have many years of experience coaching tennis and am confident in my ability to teach players of all ages and skill levels. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or an advanced player aiming to refine your technique, I can provide the guidance and training you need to succeed. My coaching philosophy is rooted in patience, adaptability, and a deep understanding of the game, ensuring that every player feels supported and motivated to achieve their goals.
Over the years, I have worked with a diverse range of players, from young children just starting out to adults who want to improve their game for recreational or competitive purposes. I specialise in breaking down complex techniques into simple, actionable steps, making it easy for players to grasp and apply what they learn. My lessons are tailored to each individual’s needs, focusing on areas such as footwork, stroke mechanics, serve accuracy, and match strategy. I believe that a strong foundation is key to long-term success, so I emphasize proper form and technique from the very beginning.
In addition to technical skills, I place a strong emphasis on mental toughness and sportsmanship. Tennis is as much a mental game as it is a physical one, and I work with players to develop focus, resilience, and a positive mindset. Whether it’s learning how to stay calm under pressure or bouncing back from a tough loss, I provide the tools and encouragement needed to build confidence both on and off the court.
One of the most rewarding aspects of coaching for me is seeing my players grow and achieve their goals. I’ve had the privilege of coaching junior players who have gone on to compete at regional and national levels, as well as adults who have significantly improved their game and developed a lifelong love for tennis. These successes are a testament to the effectiveness of my coaching methods and my commitment to helping players reach their full potential.
I also understand the importance of creating a fun and engaging learning environment. Tennis should be enjoyable, and I strive to make every lesson both productive and enjoyable. I incorporate drills, games, and match simulations to keep things interesting while ensuring that players are continuously improving. My goal is to instill a passion for the game that lasts a lifetime.
If you’re looking for a dedicated and experienced tennis coach who can help you or your child improve skills, build confidence, and achieve your tennis goals, I would be honored to work with you. Let’s work together to take your game to the next level.

Knowledgeable and adapts the training to your specific needs.
Highly recommendI met Coach Elly through an Osteopath Doctor to prevent injuries from rowing competitions and to strength muscles. I recommend working with him for his knowledge and custom based excersizes your sport needs. As an athlete i required untraditiobal workouts and he was able to design a rowing excersize using elastic bands with equipments that replicats exactly what i needed.
The way he trains himself at the Gymnasium, its all focus, commitment & professionalism.
I have had the pleasure to discuss and share techniques with him... to the point where I have adopted some of his suggestions into my routines
Those luckier to work with him will be pleasantly surprised.
BasilioI have been training with Elly for 4 months now. Prior to that I have been training by myself for 7 months with not a lot to show for. Within the 4 months I have been training with Elly I have gained more than twice the size and muscle mass. He will show you the perfect form for every exercise and the perfect training split for the whole week for best optimal gains. Much love to this man!!
I’ve been training with Elly for six months, and he’s been the best trainer I’ve worked with. I’ve had chronic injuries for years, and Elly always knows how to adapt exercises to support and manage them. He’s professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you reach your goals. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and skilled trainer whos energy is infectious to motivate you to work hard
Elly, is an amazing trainer! He has given me amazing training and really pushes me. The amount of knowledge he has is incredible! Definitely someone you should hire as a personal trainer.
